Cyber-physical systems in education: a new approach to continuous improvement and agile learning

Abstract

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are the complex evolution of classical software systems. These systems integrate the traditional physical layer together with the new aspects of CPS. Enabling a wide range of applications in various fields such as academic, governmental, industrial, etc., significantly extending the functionality and quality of services, where the technological-virtual fusion allows a better interaction between the user and the system, creating new realities in technological management. The combination of integrated components and cyberspace are relevant in its construction, allowing to extend the functionality and quality in many commercial and informative domains. Generating environments where the application of graphic methodologies such as Design Thinking, a learning methodology that immediately guarantees the development of competencies, together with Lean Startup, are focused on the client. In this context, a solution is proposed to improve the quality of education in the country, the application of CPS is an alternative to the current virtual classes, where the generation of systems allows an approach and communication between teachers, students and legal representatives, encouraging creativity through the implementation of virtual environments with key activities related to each subject of study, which awaken the interest of students. The main objective is to demonstrate the viability of SCP in an educational environment through the analysis of an immersive system focused on the continuous improvement of the user, in order to promote the use of mechanisms that allow collective participation between student and teacher, seeking to implement controlled hybrid systems that allow children in a context of economic scarcity to have access to quality education, allowing in turn the joint participation of students, teachers and tutors in charge through their mobile devices or computers, creating a participatory education.
